Hi Umeysh

I too have the shortness of breath with anxiety and I think it's my worst symptom.:mad:

Can you try and remember to concentrate on the 'out' breath rather than the 'in' one. When we get tense and anxious our chest muscles tighten up and it is a little harder to get a breath but also your lungs will hang onto the air, so when you next take a breath, you cannot take in so much and start to panic, get more anxious and the cycle begins until you start to calm down. If you make sure you breathe out for longer than you breathe in then that should help you. I should take my own advice :shades:

Hope this has helped a little.
